Re: [CODE4LIB] dc:identifier in Google XML

UOM presumably indicates some sort of identifier from the University of 
Michigan. UCSC is presumably University of California Santa Cruz. Try going to 
their library catalogs and see if the numbers that follow line up somehow.

If the person who coined these identifiers understood Linked Data, we could 
click on them to figure it out without hassle.

HI All,

I am getting data from google books that I do not understand in the
dc:identifier field.

I understand ISBN: ISSN: LCCN: OCLC:

but UOM:, and UCSC:?

Can anyone help with what these two mean.  Are they Universities?
Here is a snippet of xml;

  book
   r0xMMAAJ
   UOM:39015035700759
   Medical
   Abstracts [of the] annual meeting

Thanks,

David.

Based on the syntax, my guess is that those values represent barcodes.

Dear David,

I believe they're codes for universities.  UCSC is probably Univ of Calif Santa 
Cruz.  UOM is University of Michigan.  (You'll see STANFORD and OCLC in the 
results also, though OCLC is not a university).

I tracked one of items in the ATOM feed to the UM record:

http://mirlyn.lib.umich.edu/Record/000680081/Details#tabs

The ID you see in the ATOM feed is buried in one of the 974 fields of the UM 
MARC record.

HTH,
Kevin
